Hi!! I also struggled with that and am not even pregnant!! I suggest a fruit acid peel monthly (its a bit costly but it works wonders!!) and then neostrata facial cleanser and lotion!! Its been working for me now for a year! Its def worth a try:)

I'd say rather clear any medication with your doctor, because some acne medications may not be suitable at all when you're pregnant.

I have the horrible pregnancy acne too. As ugly as it is, the consolation is that things should go back to normal once the baby arrives. It is like being a teenager all over again, your hormones just need to settle again. I would steer clear of any acne preparations, even when it says natural. Your body during pregnancy, does not react the same way it did before. It is only for a few months, bearing with it, is safest.
